Active Directional Modifier Adaptation with Trust Region - Application to Energy-Harvesting Kites

Dominique Bonvin, Colin Neil Jones, Martand Singhal, Matthieu Jonin, Sanket Sanjay Diwale

Many real-time optimization schemes maximize process performance by performing a model-based optimization. However, due to plant-model mismatch, the model-based solution is often suboptimal. In modifier adaptation, measurements are used to correct the mode ...

Optimization of an Airborne Wind Energy System using Constrained Gaussian Processes with Transient Measurements

Colin Neil Jones, Ioannis Lymperopoulos, Sanket Sanjay Diwale

Airborne wind energy systems are built to exploit the stronger and more consistent wind available at high altitudes that conventional wind turbines cannot reach. This however requires a reliable controller design that can keep the airborne system flying fo ...

Optimization of an Airborne Wind Energy System Using Constrained Gaussian Processes

Colin Neil Jones, Ioannis Lymperopoulos, Sanket Sanjay Diwale

Wind resources tend to be significantly stronger and more consistent with increasing altitude. This effect creates a potential for power generation that can be reaped by an Airborne Wind Energy system positioned at elevations exceeding the height of conven ...
